Oh My...
I'ze getting the vapors! Pass the smelling salts?
Already have the GE toaster and Regina Electrikbroom, but oh my that detergent stash! Lemon scented FAB detergent sadly (or gladly depending upon one's point of view) lacked today's chemical fixatives that keep scent lingering for weeks, months or years. The few boxes one has been able to nab and try had nary a whiff of lemon to them. Pity. | ||

If there was HSR to that part of NYS would consider, but am not driving >six hours or incurring the expense of a plane and car rental even for a chance at such a haul. *LOL*
Those laundry and other consumer products look in very good condition to have been all stored in someone's home for years. Perhaps they are part of NOS from a store or something? MickeyD is being awful quiet on this...... Hmmmmm..... | ||

Too much time on my hands
Do you think we could persuade him to buy some of those for some of us? I'm actually considering driving 8 hours to Buffalo, pretending to visit my cousins, just so I can hit this sale with an empty car. I'd really like all that vintage Dial soaps bars in those beautiful American Standard bathroom hues in those beautiful vintage foil wrappers. Boy, am I a pathetic cheap-seat collector.
The lengths I'll go to for phosphates... | ||

Well Quite Honestly
Am not saying would turn my nose up at any of this horded, but my days of vintage detergent "collecting" must cease for awhile until sort a few things out.
Tend to only use Persil and modern products in the AEG due to it's long cycles, low water usage and so forth. So that means quite a few vintage detergents are off limits. Back on topic, those detergent boxes look far to clean and "new" to have been stored in a basement or something. Am still going with they came from a shut down store or something. | ||

Here Is Why I See Making This Road Trip As Dicey
If the notice had not be posted here and otherwise was in limited circulation then there is a good chance much of the "goodies" would be there upon arrival. However now that the cat is out of the bag there is no telling what will remain if one did not arrive when doors opened on Thursday morning. I for one am not giving up my weekend to drive twelve or so hours total to find out the joint has been picked clean upon arrival.
Tried to contact the people running this estate sale but thus far not a single response. We also have no idea about pricing. I can stay home and pay $40/per box for vintage detergent on eBay. *LOL* If one did make the trip you can bet it would be with an eye for resale, after keeping a few choice items for one's self. I mean one has to make back the costs of travel and what not..... | ||

That Part of NYS Isn't Around The Corner From Most Of Us
Locals! *LOL*
Imagine those from upstate and or even across the border *may* have gone. That and those within With estate sales it is always a gamble IMHO which puts one off driving long distance. You don't know prices do you? Also what will or will not be there when you arrive. That is unless you plan on getting there very early in order to be one of the first shoppers. Finally you really just don't know who you are dealing with when it comes to estate/garage sales. Some persons are reasonable others will not listen to any such thing on that score and are convinced their price (no matter how outrageous) is right. For instance last year there was an estate sale in NJ featuring some interesting things including a vintage combo machine. IIRC a member did go but the sellers wanted an amount that was out of line for an untested and a unit that would certainly need work. My favourite story came from a member years ago that went to an estate sale and was not only scolded but thrown out by the seller. His crime? The guy saw some vintage cleaning/laundry products and after being shot down upon asking for a price (they are spoken for said the seller), found another stash and then got the full treatment (I told you THEY ARE SPOKEN FOR....) Think many running such sales in remote or whatever areas just do not understand they are otherwise selling to a local market. Unless what they have is very rare a large appliance for instance simply isn't going to move for more than a few bucks IMHO. OTOH if we were speaking of a NOS, still crated W&D such as vintage Frigidaire things might be different. | ||
